Description

Fletcher Benton: The Artist's Studio explores the unique attitudes and methods that Benton, a world-renowned kinetic and constructivist sculptor, applies to his work. This experiential and interactive exhibition looks at the inspirations, processes, toys, and tools that Benton uses to create his art. Conceived by Benton himself, it provides a rare opportunity to see the studio—a typically private space—through the artist's eyes.
